Get to grips with a new technology, understand what it is and what it can do for you, and then get to work with the most important features and tasks. This is a quick tutorial allowing you to quickly increase the efficiency of your system by intelligently reducing its workload where possible and learn techniques for designing your solutions to take advantage of Gearman's architecture. The technology covered in this book is usable by almost any modern programming language and any type of application, be it web, desktop, or mobile applications. This book targets developers who are interested in adding distributed data processing to their applications. The examples in this book are written using Ruby, but are documented thoroughly to allow developers comfortable with other languages to understand how to use them in a language of their choice. Intermediate programmers with no previous experience in distributed computing will also be able to easily follow the content.
